...Arnold Schulman's A Hole in the Head is a rather good addition to the corpus of laughter-and-tears drama. It has plenty of yocks and a goodly share of heart-throbs. One cannot figure out exactly what kind of play Schulman intended to write, but the final result is on the whole satisfying...
...Schulman took on a difficult task here, but managed to avoid most of the pitfalls that would have doomed a lesser writer. This is not a thesis play; nor is it a deep one. And it is not a comedy about sophisticated, upper-crust society--which is much easier to write. The author chose the just-plain-folks, people-in-the-house-next-door, it-could-happen-to-you genre, set within the framework of a specific middle-class cultural milieu--the sort that has tempted many American writers, with varying success, ever since Abie's Irish Rose...

The new wife soon finds out that he is still in love with the old, that he does not want her to be herself, but only to be "like Rosanna." Impossible. Rosanna was a yes woman; Gioia is one of those passionate natures that take time by the forelock and life by the throat. "You look like a slob!" her husband roars...
